Dude- It won't take much more than a response for me to blow you up. I already think you're an asshole. Go ahead and give me one more reason to add to that list so I can come here each day and smile knowing you're gone forever.

You add zero, you're a douchebag and not a single person here has ever said to me, "Hey, ease up on that guy, he's a terrific poster."

So please, at least go out with something clever and something that will live on in the Library or something. Because there's no doubt in my mind you're going. You've been a cancer since the day you got here and that disease has about run its course.

Or, and this is way beyond any actual I hope I have, you can try and actually add to the conversation instead of being a gaping canker sore.

What in the motherfuck?

I'm not allowed to compliment players that are playing well? Am I also not allowed to say Kipnis is hitting well? Am I not allowed to say Vinnie Pestano is pitching well?

Santana's playing well defensively, and he had just made a great play before I posted that, so I wanted to mention it. I thought it was noteworthy how well he's been playing.

WTF is wrong with that?

Like I said... I'm about done with it. Don't whine, don't play stupid with your typical "everyone's picking on me" shit.

You're either as big an asshole that's ever haunted this place or about the dumbest who's ever logged in.

Look back at your past few posts and see why you get the shit you get. Your hit and run a day or two ago was followed up with the post above.

I don't care if you're a dick or you're dumb. I'm about done even guessing. And no one here will care.

All aside, that was a pretty nice defensive play and throw by Santana earlier in the game.

Yes, we had a disagreement last year about Santana. And now I'm just revisiting that because I think he's improving like I thought he would improve. That's all I ever argued for last year, just keep him behind the plate to give him a chance to improve. Because Santana behind the plate is more valuable than Santana at first. And now we're seeing a more valuable Santana (look at how little time Marson's getting).

I don't see the problem. So we disagreed about a player. There's nothing wrong with that. That's why I'm here, to talk Indians baseball. I'm not here to talk Indians baseball and then get yelled at for being disagreed with.

That might help him more than anything else.

Especially the mental prep part. These Asian imports are playing under some immense pressure from across the Pacific. If he can handle that better than those before him, then he's definitely set up for success.

A God Damn dead man would understand that if a minor league bus in any city took a real sharp right turn, a Zack McCalister would likely fall out. - Lead Pipe

But I still hate the way Santana catches pitches. He stabs at the ball, and his glove ends up way more outside or way more inside than it should be, making a close pitch appear like it wasn't close at all.

I don't know if that makes a difference in getting calls, but it wouldn't hurt to fix that.

Yea, not hoping, just waiting. I don't think his stuff is that good, he lives on swag. A tubby, unkept Borowski.

I don't like Perez but I won't compare him to Borowski. Perez has a plus (slightly) fastball and a legit +slider.

If he gets to and stays stays at 94-95 with #1 he can be a real tough night. That's a lot different than Borowski serving up slop and hoping lasers were hit at people.

People seem to forget how truly awful Joe Borowski was. Closers periodically lose their jobs. Not all that unusual. Having a guy with the worst stuff in the league at the time keep the job for over a year and a half - well, that ain't happening all too often.

Could it be he's finally found what he had before his pitching went downhill? Could he be now showing what made it worth trading two high-rated prospects for him? Who knows...stay tuned this season.

No. I think he's just found a way to compensate for not having what made him so good before (which was 100 gas).

Personally I don't care if he "found" it or he learned to "compensate" as long as whatever he has done works on a consistent basis. Time will tell (hence my "stay tuned" comment because I'm not ready to call Ubaldo fixed yet).
